One of the greatest and nicest guys you would ever hope to meet...


will miss you bro...............

Jumped Angel Falls with Gus, WILD video of himself going into the falls on camera, spit him out a few hundred ft later,wet, but,unscathed!

Sad to lose another

You mean under canopy, or in freefall?

He had an idea to exit the helicopter at the same time as a two-way, to get the MONEY SHOT!
The forward throw was more than he calculated, he dumped just before he went into the falls. His canopy somehow opened inside and flew out!

I wonder if anyone has a copy of that video, it sounds sweet.
